I touched on this in the Sandcastle, but the whole story behind the collapse of that studio infuriates me to no end. The temerity, the waste, the smugness, the hypocrisy, and the honest human cost to everyone who worked on this game except for the people who deserved it.

In the past, I've considered making a short video series to catalog the story behind it, but I never had time or energy. But I recently suddenly gained a lot of free time... maybe I will.

Maybe you could just type it out in a series of posts for us here to read? I really enjoyed this game and despite its flaws I had hoped for more like it. Id like to know more about the studio.

I always got the impression that he consulted in an overarching sort of way, like outlining the plot, rather than writing any/all of the specific dialogue. Same for McFarlane on the art direction.

Edit: which is why both are a bit derivative, but are still well done.

Bob Salvatore and I talk once in a while ever since I met him at ComicCon San Diego years ago and we ended up going to have a few beers together with some other friends. It was a pretty good time. I could always ask.
